John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Luminous Glaze, Hair Gloss Enhances Rich Color and Boosts Shine for Silky Brunette Hair, Enhances While Mending Damaged Hair Surfaces, 6.5 Oz

I have dark brown hair and have started to use a med brown permanent hair color to cover the greys. I was a bit afraid to use a root touch up product as I was afraid it wouldn't match perfectly and I would ultimately end up with different shades of brown where the root grew out. I did, however have this product on hand that I had forgotten about. It did the trick! I used it all over my hair and it covered the grey roots and made all my greys that were covered with permanent hair color a pretty, shimmery auburn/copper. I did it again a couple of weeks later, just on the roots and it covered them! Not sure if I will use it all the time for my roots, it may not be cost efficient, but it worked in a pinch. (I only wash my hair once a week and use this when the roots start to show.). I don't really know how temporary or permanent it actually is overall, but I think this could be a good option if you colored your hair and don't like it and want to grow it all out and use this in the interim. The negative is of course the staining. If you have a stainless steel sink, use that. This product does stain and you have to apply it VERY carefully and immediately wash off wherever it drops in the shower--it is crucial to work fast. Depending on the materials in your shower, some may stain, so work fast. It did seem to permanently leave a bit of a stain on one section of my wall that I missed

I cannot adequately explain how happy I am with this product. It is AMAZING!!! With enough grey hair mixed into my brown over the passing years, I was starting to look worn down. Close friends asked repeatedly if I planned to color my hair and encouraged me jump on the hair color train. Well... I went on the hunt for a home products because I know I wouldn’t commit to regular salon color appointments. All I can say is I wish this came up in my search sooner! My grey hairs are now a nice warm caramel color and indistinguishable from my warm brunette natural hair. I showed close family who colors their hair regularly at a salon and she said she couldn’t even tell I had grey anymore! She said they look like lovely highlights. She was blown away. I don’t have a single grey hair remaining. And my hair looks multi dimensional like it did before. No flat box dye look. A few tips... -This will stain hands and any surface you leave it on. It is surprising at first but is easy to fix. Just scrub your hands with a body puff and body wash and it’ll get rid of the staining. I also found using a little baby oil on my hands in the shower before using the glaze helps to minimize staining. -I didn’t follow directions the first few times because I wanted fast results. And it worked out wonderfully. I applied it to my hair dry and hopped in the shower. Let it sit on there for maybe 10 minutes and then rinsed. Next few times I did it every shower after a shampoo (no conditioner). Within just a few uses my grey was totally gone. -It can stain your scalp a little. A little brushing or fingernail scratching of the scalp offers a nice exfoliation and gets rid of most of the stain. It’s really minimal and honestly was welcomed because of just made my hair look more full at the hairline. A couple of shampoos later and scalp staining was gone. I had fast results and it really has sticking power. It takes literally 2-3 minutes in the shower 1-2 times a week and I maintain the color. The cost, quick application, convenience of home use, and results cannot be beat. My hair looks like it’s totally natural color before using it... just without the grey. In other words, it looks like I paid $150-$300 for a professional color service. If you’re even considering this, buy it. It’s temporary but holds the tiny really well and is easy and fast to use. I already have a family member excited to use it after she saw my fast results.

A few days after coloring my hair, this product extends the hair shine and enriches the color, which often becomes dull after a few shampoos. While showering and after shampoo/conditioning, I squeeze out the water from my hair; then, I use a blob of the product on the top of my head and another blob on the length of the hair. I try to mix the product in well, especially on the length, to give it good coverage. I wait about 10 minutes while finishing my shower, then rinse off the product. My hair stays shiney for a few days until the next shampoo. The product doesn't last like a permanent glaze/cellophane treatment, but it doesn't damage the hair either.

I've used this on/off couple years. Works brilliantly. Fair price cheaper than going hairdresser.

Because of this product , I do not need to get my hair dyed !

Hair feels soft and thicker (I have very fine hair). Used it 3 times so far but not seeing any gloss

Horrible.. It's not color, not a conditioner not a serum or a gloss and it does absolutely nothing to the hair instead makes it sticky. I will never buy this product again

Really pleased with this product. Followed the instructions except I left it on my hair a little bit longer. shampoo, rinse, towels dry, apply this product for 10mins and rinse.
